[Intro: Usimamane]

Uhh wanna be a star

Mmmh mmmh mmmh

[Verse 1: Usimamane]

Back where I came from bekungelula (Uh)

Lang'suka khona, bes'nethwa yimvula (Uh)

I was a nobody

But, now I'm a somebody

IKati bel'lele eziko

But now I'm a nkanyezi (Uh)

[Chorus: Mo.Rena]

I, I just wanna be a star

Shining bright like a dime

Besides, life, you

I, I just wanna be a star

Shining bright like a dime

Besides, life, you, me

[Verse 2: Usimamane]

Mama's baby boy

I'm just a ghetto boy

Came deep down from the bottom, at the top is where I belong

And I'm barely home, I was tired of living poor

It was sticks and stones on me mama told me "Keep it going"

Wanna be a star (Be a star)

We gon' make it and it's written in the stars

Now a couple people prayin' that I fall

They don't wanna see a black man ball

[Bridge: Usimamane]

Gotta stay prayed up

Gotta get my pay up

Wanna put my mama on that whip, a Bentayga

I just wanna put all of my brothers, whole Bootayga

I don't give a fuck 'bout no hater, see you later

Let the young nigga ball

[Chorus: Mo.Rena]

I, I just wanna be a star

Shining bright like a dime

Besides, life, you

I, I just wanna be a star

Shining bright like a dime

Besides, life, you, me

[Post-Chorus: Usimamane, Mo.Rena]

Mama's baby boy

I'm just a ghetto boy

Came deep down from the bottom, at the top is where I belong

I was tired of living poor

It was sticks and stones on me mama told me "Keep it going"

[Outro: Mo.Rena]
